Chen thus felt that it was imperative for the Qing state and Kangxi Emperor to enact preemptive measures, in particular, a prohibition of all Catholic missionaries in the Qing provinces to prevent the increasing territorial and commercial control of the Catholic missions and foreign merchants.
The Kangxi Emperor ratified the Council’s recommendation and decreed that a prohibition was necessary. In January 1721, eleven months before his death, the Kangxi Emperor issued the formal decree proscribing Catholic missionaries in the Qing state.

For example, recently in addition to the Kangxi fakes Wanli-type large Kraak jars were being auctioned as being genuine but as well-informed dealers pointed out that these jars should be made in two pieces and horizontally luted together in the middle.
